On my X, I chose Fennekin because I kinda like how Delphox looks. On my Y, I chose Chespin because I want to catch Articuno.

Out of the 5 games I have (3 of Y and 2 of X) all 5 times I have chosen Fennekin (I love all 3 of its evolutions - I just love Delphox the most), 4 times it has been male.

Male Froakie on X, I rarely get a female started at the start of the game. I haven't restarted the game and probably never will until a new pokemon game comes out and I transfer everything over.

I have been wanting to get Y, but I still haven't gotten it.

I wanted to balance out the starters, so with the free Torchic- I went with Chespin, and then got Squirtle to round them out.

If this is for one game, I went with my Pokémon X (primary one) and I chose Froakie as my starter since I was pleased with Greninja's design. It was a female one, and nicknamed her Lotus since I was having trouble finding a nice female ninja name for her.

If that Froakie was male, I would have gone with Hayabusa.

In Y I chose fennekin, it was female and so I named it Flandre.

I was a little disappointed when it fully evolved so when I played X I chose froakie.

I chose Fennekin, because Wiazrds/Witches are better than Ninjas. :P

I've grown to like Greninja after using one competitively though...

My first file of X, I got a female Fennekin. When I restarted, I got a male Chespin, and right now, on my first file of Y, I got a female Froakie :3

I had wanted Fennekin since the X/Y starters were first announced, but when I saw all the evolutionary lines I had to go with Froakie instead. He was a boy, as expected.

He didn't really stay in my party for long though, after he evolved into Greninja I just kinda boxed and forgot about him.

I chose (and always will) Fennekin - female :3 As soon as I saw the starters and Fennekin was the Fire-type, I was sold!

I too, think Delphox has a somewhat more feminine look so that's why I will always pick Fennekin as a female ;)

I chose Fennekin on my Y and I think it was male but I'm not sure. I chose Chespin on my X and it was male and I used him all game. I never chose Froakie but tbqh all of our starters this gen are actually quite good.

Out of all the starters, Chespin's design and concept appealed the most to me, so I chose that one. I generally like "bruiser" type of Pokemon who can dish out a good amount of damage while being able to take hits themselves. I also can't get enough of the Spiky shield + Leech Seed combo with Quilladin. B)

If I had purchased X and Y as soon as it came out I would have gone with Froakie because I was disappointed over Fennekin's evolutions. Fast forward a few months to when I actually got a chance to get a copy of the game I ended up picking Fennekin (and resetting until I got a female) because I started to adore Braixen. Delphox has grown on me a bit, but Fennekin and Braixen are adorable imo! I am lucky enough to have a nice enough S/O to hatch me a shiny Fennekin as well. :)

I chose fennekin, much to my regret. I don't really like Delphox unless it is female. I definitely wish I chose froakie.

I personally chose Fennekin. I thought it was adorable and it seemed there was no way it could be a fire fighting evo (yay I was right!). Froakie was cool too and would have been my second choice, but I personally hate Chespin because I think it's just a cheap grass type Dewott clone.

I chose Froakie because I always go with the water-type starter on my main file for any generation. Overall, I really don't like the gen 6 starters much, though Greninja has definitely grown on me over time, and its potential in battle outweighs my initial negative reaction to its design. I was much more excited about the Kanto starters than I was about the Kalos ones (picked Squirtle to get my favorite Pokémon, Blastoise).


My starter was male, as I always go with male starters because (a) the nickname I use for my starters works better for male Pokémon and (b) blue is my favorite color, and I find the blue male symbol more aesthetically pleasing for my starter than the female symbol. (Plus, for a water-type, blue goes well.) I also wanted to have a starter with decent stats and a non-detrimental/moderately helpful nature, and the first Froakie I found that fulfilled my requirements was male.

I haven't played either X or Y yet, but am I the only one that doesn't like any of the starters in these? They all look odd to me. Greninja is the only one that looks somewhat cool/appealing.

I picked Fennekin simply because I loved the way it looked as its first form. I was unaware of the final forms so I was a little disappointed when Braixen evolved, had I known I probably would've chosen Froakie since I didn't really like the way Chespin looked.

Chose Froakie in Y, showed up as male. Of course, I mained the event Torchic for most of the game, but Froakie was still my backup until I came across a Bagon.
